Habloons (a play on the word doubloons) are a recent addition to Habbo Hotel: Origins to help combat the confusing landscape of in-game trading for new and old players. Exchanging your normal Habbo credit balance into Habloon balance allows you to purchase tradeable coins from the catalogue, and easily buy items from other players without worrying about the ever-fluctuating values of dinos (dragon eggs) and HC sofas.
Here's a small guide to help understand what Habloons are, how to buy them and how to use them. Please note that in order to exchange and redeem Habloons you must be a Habbo Club (HC) member.
How to Exchange
Open your Habbo purse and click the 'exchange' button at the bottom to open the Habbo Exchange Window. The first exchanger you'll see is for converting your bought credits into Habloon balance. To find out how to buy credits from the Origins store, we have a guide coming very soon :)

Under Credits > Habloons you can type in the amount of credits you'd like to receive as Habloon balance and click the now highlighted 'exchange' button to convert them. Now in your purse should be the new Habloon balance (silver pirate skull coin) above your stamp balance, and you'll have lost that same amount in credits.
If you wanted to convert those 10 Habloons back into credits (so, the other way around), you would do exactly as described above only you'd go to the Habloons > Credits exchanger underneath the first one we used. Please note there is a 33% fee for converting Habloons into credits, so you'd only receive 7 credits back in your purse from your 10 Habloons.

How to Buy Habloon Coins
Coins can only be purchased using your Habloon balance and they can be found in the catalogue.
1c (bronze), 5c (silver), 10c (gold), 20c (sack) and 50c (gold bar/GB) amounts are currently available.
These 'physical' coins represent Habloon currency and they're used to trade in return for goods from other players! You can also place these furnis in your rooms if you fancy making a Smaug inspired treasure den :)

You can easily find the current value of items in-game right here on Frankly, by using our values tool! Our team of valuers manually sweep the game for the newest and fairest of prices. For example this green bird bath has been valued by our team at 100 credits, so you'll likely find green bird baths in-game being sold for roughly the same amount in Habloons depending on the seller.
If you've bought coins but want the Habloon balance back in your purse, you only need to place the coins in one of your private rooms, double-click them, then 'redeem'. It's worth noting there's no tax for redeeming coins back into Habloon balance.
Trading and market stall guides will be linked here soon with further information for using your Habloon coins!
The addition of Habloons has been a game changer for Origins players and I personally find it much easier to trade this way. I know some of us miss the more retro system, and some do still use dinos and HCs to trade, but nevertheless I'm sure Habloons will help newer players find their footing much quicker and will be more likely to stick around in the long-term! <3
